Apple ranked as the top smartphone manufacturer for the three month period ending January 2013. Android ranked as the top smartphone platform but declined slightly from October 2012, reports ComScore.
Smartphone OEM Market Share 129.4 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones (55 percent mobile market penetration) during the three months ending in January, up 7 percent since October. Apple ranked as the top OEM with 37.8 percent of U.S. smartphone subscribers (up 3.5 percentage points from October). Samsung ranked second with 21.4 percent market share (up 1.9 percentage points), followed by HTC with 9.7 percent share, Motorola with 8.6 percent and LG with 7 percent (up 0.3 percentage points).
Smartphone Platform Market Share Google Android ranked as the top smartphone platform with 52.3 percent market share, while Apple’s share increased 3.5 percentage points to 37.8 percent. BlackBerry ranked third with 5.9 percent share, followed by Microsoft (3.1 percent) and Symbian (0.5 percent).
What I find "interesting", so to speak, is that Apple has a total 6 different smartphones and holds 37.8% whereas Android is on how many dozens or hundreds of different model phones and is only 14.5% more of the market.
